The internet is shaking once again as fans have dug up an old video of Burna Boy boldly declaring that veteran producer ID Cabasa is “not an OG to him.” The clip, which had been buried for years, resurfaced right in the middle of the heated Olamide–Wizkid greatness debate, pouring fresh fuel on an already blazing fire.

In the resurfaced video, Burna Boy speaks candidly about hierarchy and respect in the music industry. He didn’t mince words:

“ID Cabasa is not an OG to me… he can be an OG to Olamide. That’s how I see it — we all see things differently.”

His statement made it clear: respect is personal, not universal — and Burna Boy has always measured OG status based on his own journey, not general consensus.

Why the Clip Suddenly Blew Up Again

The video began circulating shortly after Olamide was dragged across social media for saying that after Fela Kuti, Wizkid is the greatest African artiste.
That single statement cracked open an enormous debate, polarizing fanbases and reigniting long-standing arguments about legacy, impact, and influence.

So when fans found Burna Boy’s old clip, they wasted no time linking it to the current drama. To many people online, the resurfaced video perfectly mirrors the ongoing industry tension — a reminder that:

Artists define “OG” differently

Fanbases interpret “greatness” differently

Respect in music is never one-size-fits-all

Social Media Reactions Are Wild

The clip went viral instantly, with fans splitting into camps:

Team Burna saying he has every right to define his own OGs

Team Olamide claiming Burna Boy’s comment is “disrespectful”

Wizkid FC pushing Olamide’s statement even harder

Neutral fans arguing the entire conversation has become too emotional

Some comments included:

“Burna always stands on his truth, love him or hate him.”

“ID Cabasa is a legend whether Burna acknowledges him or not.”

“This is exactly why the Wizkid–Olamide debate keeps getting hotter.”

Bigger Picture: Industry Hierarchy Is Getting Rewritten

What makes the situation even more dramatic is how it highlights a deeper shift in African music — a new generation challenging the old definition of legends, while older fans insist on traditional hierarchies.

Burna’s resurfaced comment is now being used as another example that artists define greatness by impact on their own journey, not by age or longevity alone.

Bottom Line

The resurfaced Burna Boy video didn’t just stir conversation — it reignited a major culture-wide debate about:

who the real OGs are,

how artists view legacy,

and whether greatness is measured by influence, longevity, or personal experience.

And with the Olamide–Wizkid argument still raging, this clip might be only the beginning of another round of chaotic, high-voltage online battles.
